Hello everyone,
We want to let you know about a new swag program for technical contributors that the Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Engagement < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Engagement%3E [1] team has developed in collaboration with the Fundraising Operations < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising%3E [2] team. This program will reward technical contributors for their active participation in outreach programs, events, and software projects by giving swag.
This is a small token of appreciation for the countless efforts of our technical contributors!
In the first year of its operation, the swag program considers 85 individuals with significant contributions as developers, mentors, and organizers in 2021 for each of the following areas.
- Google Summer of Code & Outreachy - Small wiki toolkits - Gerrit code contributions - Wikimedia & Wikimania Hackathon
To learn more about each of these areas and the overall program, visit < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_tech_swag_program%3E [3]. If you have any feedback or questions, or have suggestions around which areas to cover, please share on the talk page.
Best, Srishti
On behalf of Technical Engagement team

This is awesome, thank you everyone who worked on this! At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth, I hope in future years we can have more technical products on the swag (e.g. MediaWiki, Wikitech, Toolforge, ... t-shirts, stickers).

Good idea! Custom swags will be in the picture hopefully in the future iteration. Fingers crossed 🤞
